Can I flag an issue was a bug is related to it with automation?

Luiz Alves Filho

Every time a bug is created and that bug relates to an issue on the active sprint, then that issue is flagged and only can transition into done once the bug is fixed (status = Done).

Is there a way to automate the flagging of an issue with a related bug to it?

Hi @Luiz Alves Filho

Maybe... How do you know a defect (bug) is related to another issue within Jira?

If it is a sub-task type or is linked to the "parent" issue then you should be able to use an automation rule to detect the condition and then flag it. You would also configure your workflow to check for the blocking item before allowing a parent to transition to done.

Best regards,

Bill

We link bugs (issueType = Bug) with the related user stories (issueType = Story).

But I can't find a way to do it on automation yet!

Hi @Luiz Alves Filho

If you are manually linking when you create the Bug, you can then use automation to set the flag (edit issue, setting the Flagged field to True).

If you are looking for a way to automatically link the Bug to the Story, using automation, you would need some way to uniquely identify the Story for the link to the Bug. Otherwise, there would be no way for automation to do this.

Bill,

That's exactly what I want to do. Flagged automatically a story which has a bug related to it. But I'm trying to automate it but without success.

Do you have any ideas on how to do it?
